Cabilao Lighthouse (Shark Point)
Still a good wall dive, but the reputation rests on something that mostly no longer happens. Divers reporting from the site since the mid-2010s describe the hammerheads as fished out and advise not planning a trip around them.

Unique features
- Steep wall off Cabilao's northwest point, roughly two hours by road plus a short crossing from Panglao
- Historically the site for winter scalloped hammerhead schools at 40–45m — repeated diver reports say these have effectively ceased
- Good hard coral and reef fish on the wall; current can pick up on the corner
